Ever since Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho opened in theatres, critics have slammed the film for being dumb and soulless. However, movie buffs flocked to theatres to catch the visual extravaganza in the opening weekend.
Trade analysts, however, opine that the collections might see a huge drop from today and this will determine whether Saaho will venture into the profit zone or not. Since it was Ganesh Chathurthi on September 2nd (Monday), theatres in India saw a considerable crowd to watch the film.
For four days, Saaho has collected a share of Rs 66.56 Cr in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Considering the budget spent on the project and the enormous pre-release business, the film needs to do far better business for another two weeks.
Here’s the film’s breakup list of shares in Telugu states for 4 days:
